9 The people were delighted with their donations, for they contributed to the LORD with a willing attitude; King David was also very happy. 10 David praised the LORD before the entire assembly: |O LORD God of our father Israel, you deserve praise forevermore! 11 O LORD, you are great, mighty, majestic, magnificent, glorious, and sovereign over all the sky and earth! You have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler of all. 12 You are the source of wealth and honor; you rule over all. You possess strength and might to magnify and give strength to all. 13 Now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your majestic name! 14 But who am I and who are my people, that we should be in a position to contribute this much? Indeed, everything comes from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours. 1 Chronicles 29:9-14, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
